THE DEFepsss OF FORT DoNELsoN.


The bluff ,pon which Donelson stood was
100 feet higl. The fort itself was what was
called in military language bastioned ealtn'
work, with angles like star points pro]ecune
from tho lInin inclosurc outward, aud pro-
tected by walls Of heavy ealthw"rks. 1t was
SO situated that its guns commanded the RIVER
as far as the; could carry. Two water oat-
teries were erected on the slope OF the blufr
toward tho river. The larger battery was
the one nearest the shore. 1t had for arma-
ment 1O-inch Columbiad and ninc S2pound
guns. Tho upper battery was supplied with
two 32-pountlers and one l'iflcd cannon which
carried q conical ball " 1cS pounds. The
water batteries were built by Lieut.. Col. j.
F. Gilner, chief engineer Of the western de-
,artlnent of the Confederate army. They
were constructed after the faEof Fort Henry.
As soon Us that point was captured tho whole
available Confederate force in that region
was concentrated ut Donelson.
The limo OF batteries was extended 50 n' 10
take in Dover. where stores OF food and am
munition wc1r. liz and out, through salient
and rc-cntrant angle, for two miles and
half, tho tracary 1T earthwork, and guns
went.
Besides that, tho Notifications were pro-
tected with bristling abatis. ltwasa wooded
region, full of 'black jack" oak and other
woods The scrub oaks were felled. their
branches sharpened at the point and these
and the trees were fastened upon the ground,
shar2encd points outward, in what seemed
an i,npenetrable abatis. To get ut Fort Dom
elson the Union troops were obliged to so up
hill over these sharpened points in the face Of
marksmen whose aim was yet sharper.
On the east, tho river protected the works.
Such were the defcnses Of DonelsoD.
Lieut.. Col. Gillner says that the effective
fighting force within the fort was $1,000.
Up to the time the siege began it was com
manded by Gen. Bushrod r. johnson. He
was REINFORCED successfully by Gems. Pillow,
Clarke, Floyd and Buckner, with several
men each. Gen. j. B. Floyd was
the officer highest in rank and had command.

EDITOR CYCLONE.-Dear Sir |
notice in your last issue that you spoke
of prosecution for revenge and char
acterized it rs persecution in dis
guise. l wish to say right here that
| am opposed to the institution of
malicious prosecution against any
person. but when the criminal laws of
our state have been violated and dis
regarded, | am in favor Of the rigid
enforcement of the laws on all, equally
and alike, let him be great or small,
and when the people come to the point
to learn, know and feel that the law is
their master, then peace becomes GER
tain and brotherly love will reign
supremely
understand that since the criminal
prosecutions yOu reierd 70 parties are
not satisfied with the crimes already
perpetrated but are still tampering
with witnesses who are to appear
before the district court, and will take
this method of notifying all Of these
parties that if they do not cease from
their endeavors TO infuance witnesses
as to how they shall testify BY holding
out inducements, they too Will have to
suffer the penalty of the law
! do not believe that the good people
Of Graham county will submit to sec
me the law remaining on the statute /
being enforced. \ violation /
of law is crime, and crime tends to /
corrupt the morals Of our youth and /
strikes at the very foundation of the |
government.

As the case now stands, not only do

Logan proceedings and the effects Of
DEGREES Of divorce are. almost equally
and hopelessly diverse. In some States
= residence Of five years by the petit
toner is required; in Others the period
varies from three years 70 ninety days.
while in a few no residence At all is re-
quircd IL the injury complained Of oc-
CURED in the State where the petition Il
fled. aud in one rare instance the
mere wish to become a resident sufiices
70 give the court jurisdiction Of she
case,
The effects Of the decree are equally
varied. In some States Il completely
dissolves the marriage contract and
leaves the man and the woman IN the
same status which they occupied before
marriage. In others there are diverse
restrictions 81 the right TO marry
again. The evils .of such a system are
well stated BY Judge Bennett; "A hns-
band who has obtained divorce in one
State on trivial grounds. and which in
some States will BE regarded as valid.
in others not. may marry again. and
with his new wife and children travel
through the United States. and In some
places his new relations will be consid-
cred legal and proper. while in others
he will be a bigamist. his new wife
paramour and their children illegiti-
mate"
One Of the many good results that
would follow the adoption Of a uniform
system 81 divorce laws and procedure
throughout the country would be the
breaking up Of the avindIing practices
Of divorce lawyers" who have long
been public scandal and disgrace.
The only practicable way 20 secure
this uniformity is through Congression'
al action. and this would require m
amendment Of the constitution author
